To the innervation of swallowing movements
Abstract
The first studies on the innervation of swallowing movements apparently belong to the first half of the last century. At this time, a significant number of works appeared, outlining studies on the effect of irritations and transections of cranial and other nerves on various organs; Some of these works also concern the swallowing apparatus. Of the most detailed works in this direction, two were available to us, namely Reid's and Volkmann's



Photographic reading aloud
Abstract
The morbid disorder, which we characterize by the term photographic reading aloud, is so peculiar that although we have mentioned it in our work on catatonia, we nevertheless consider it proper to consider this disorder in more detail in a separate article; at a meeting of the Society of Neurologists and Psychiatrists at the Imperial Kazan University on October 22, 1907, we made a presentation on the aforementioned disorder and could exchange opinions with our comrades in the specialty about the origin of the painful phenomenon that interests us.
Here is the story of a patient who was under our supervision.



About methods of opening the brain
Abstract
(Second trial lecture given at a meeting of the Faculty of Medicine (17.XII.07), for the competition of a private docent).
'The individuality of the case' says Virchow, 'should determine the method of dissection'. But, he continues, the rule cannot be sacrificed to various evasions, and the opener can afford to change the usual cuts in some way only when it is fully justified. These provisions are of great importance, both for the whole doctrine of the opening of the organs of the body in general, and for the section of the brain in particular. On the one hand, it is extremely important to have strictly worked out methods that would make it possible to examine organs in perfect order with the least danger of spoiling or destroying any interesting preparation. On the other hand, precisely for the sake of the greatest demonstrativeness, it is sometimes necessary to impose cuts in the wrong directions in which this is usually done.



To the casuistry of states of obsession
Abstract
Various types of obsession, thanks to still existing superstitions or beliefs, mainly of the common people, despite their long history, are encountered to the present not only in the form of individual cases, but also epidemically. True, some types of obsession, such as, for example, the delirium about the transformation of a person into animals, especially wolves (mainly the property of the Middle Ages) according to Professor V. M. Bekhterev), apparently no longer occur and only demonomania or demonic possession, no less widespread in the Middle Ages, still appears among the religious masses in the form of so-called corruption or hysterics, or even in the form of real demonic possession.

Prof. G Marinesco and I. Minea. About microscopic sympathetic hypospinal nodes. — Neurologisches Centralblatt. 1908 No. 4
Abstract
By chance, during the study of the spinal ganglia, the authors discovered in the neighborhood of the subganglionic part of the spinal nerves, (near the corresponding spinal ganglia), small sympathetic ganglia, inaccessible to the naked eye and visible only in microscopic sections. Some technical precautions are necessary to find these knots. Usually these nodules are located outward and downward from the corresponding spinal ganglia and never above them or in the intraarachnoid part of the spinal roots.



Paul Flechsig. Remarks on the auditory centers of the human brain. Neurologisches Central-blatt 1908—Nos. 1 and 2
Abstract
(The article was the subject of a report read in the Society of Middle German Psychiatrists and Neurologists on October 26, 1907).
Carl Wernike, on the basis of clinical observations, drew a generally accepted, well-known conclusion about the close relationship of the first temporal gyrus with the auditory sphere. Despite the fact that this area is named after him, Wernike himself was far from the idea of attributing all auditory functions exclusively to this gyrus (as the only center) and was rather inclined to think that all the external temporal gyrus are somewhat interested in this respect. This idea is also supported by Munk and Monakow. From the very beginning, the author has kept aloof on this issue and defends somewhat different views that disagree with the generally accepted ones.



A. Lourie. On the movement of the eyeballs during irritation of the cerebellum. Berlin. Neurologisches Centralblatt. 1908. No. 3
Abstract
The author reports the results of experiments carried out on animals (dogs) at the Physiological Institute of the Royal Higher Veterinary School in Berlin. Even earlier, he had the opportunity to carry out work of a similar kind on the stimulation of the cerebellum and analyze the phenomena observed in this case. Both from previous experiments and from the present, he formed a certain conviction that in the cerebellum there are absolutely no centers for the movement of the eyes and muscles of the face, as Ferrier claims. All those who worked on the subject and in this area, except for Munk, like Renzi, Lewandowsky, Pruse, and especially Ferrier, found that when different parts of the cerebellum were stimulated in different animals, different movements of the eyes, and sometimes also of other parts of the body, such as ears, were obtained. , wings of the nose. From the side of the eyes, nystagmus, eye rotation, pupil dilation, exophthalmus were observed. The experiments were carried out by the author with a wide opening of the posterior part of the cranium in order to make the entire surface of the cerebellum accessible as far as possible.



Dr. Schima from Japan. On the issue of changes in the central nervous system under the influence of adrenaline. Neurologisches Centralblatt. 1908. No. 4
Abstract
Impressed by the discovery of Erb Jr., the author undertook systematic studies in rabbits to study the changes in the central nervous system under the influence of injections of adrenaline (Takamine). The experiments were carried out on young animals. From 0.1 to 0.5 adrenaline was injected, and the animals either died or were killed.



Pletnev and Citron. Serodiagnosis of syphilis. (Medical Review No. 2. 1908)
Abstract
The essence of the method with which the authors worked is the phenomenon of complement fixation, in other terminology, complement deviation.
At the beginning of the work, we find general considerations from the field of the doctrine of immunity. As we know, a living organism is capable of reacting to substances of cellular origin (antigens) entering it from the outside by producing known principles—antibodies.



Dr. Otto Schutz. Anatomical and pathological changes in the spinal cord of one morphine addict (From the Institute of Pathology and Hygiene in Chemnitz). Neurologisches Centralblatt. 1908.4
Abstract
At the Chemnitz Pathological Institute, usually in all cases of chronic arthritis, the spinal cord is examined at autopsy, and quite unexpected findings have been obtained more than once. This was also the case during the autopsy of a 23-year-old girl who had three symptoms of arthritis deformans.






Prof. W. Stoltzner. Spasmophilia and the metabolism of calcium-containing substances, (from the University Polyclinic for Children's Diseases in Halle). Neurologisches Centralblatt No. 2-1908
Abstract
Based on clinical and experimental observations of spasmophilia in children, in which sometimes feeding with cow's milk and the administration of calcium supplements significantly increases the galvanic excitability of peripheral nerves, the author proposed his own hypothesis of the nature of spasmophilia, which consists in the assumption of abnormal stagnation of calcium compounds in tissue fluids.






H. Curschman. To the question of the sacral form of multiple sclerosis and dissociation of disorders of sexual ability. Neurologisches Centralblatt. 1908—No. 3
Abstract
The first to point to this form was sclerosis disseminata. Under the influence of this report, the author, for his part, brings to attention a case that he observed of an undoubted sclerosis disseminata, where the process was localized in the lowest parts of the spinal cord - in the conus terminalis. Such process localization is very rare, as pointed out by Oppenheim and Mendel.



Dr. Schroder. To the casuistry of cerebellar hemorrhages. Neurologisches Centralblatt. 1908 No. 4
Abstract
Without a doubt, the most favored site of apoplexy is in the region of the arteriae fassae Sylvii. The branches of this particular artery are most often torn, especially those extending at a right angle from the arteria cerebri media and going through the lenticular body, the internal capsule to the nucleus caudatus and thalamus opticus.



Anglade et Jaquin on the so-called cardiovascular form of epilepsy. (Annales Medico - Psychologiques. 1908. Janv.-Fev.)
Abstract
Without a doubt, the most favored site of apoplexy is in the region of the arteriae fassae Sylvii. The branches of this particular artery are most often torn, especially those extending at a right angle from the arteria cerebri media and going through the lenticular body, the internal capsule to the nucleus caudatus and thalamus opticus.



Privatdocent Klimov. A case of multiple sclerosis in childhood. Doctor. Newspaper. No. 6. 1908
Abstract
The case described by the author is all the more important because the question of the possibility of sets. sclerosis in childhood cannot be considered definitively clarified. Under the supervision of the author was an 8-year-old patient with symptoms typical of this disease: for example, it was possible to state intentional trembling, spastic-atactic gait, chanted speech and nystagmus, in addition, there was a weakening of mental abilities and an increase in tendon reflexes.



Babkin. "A case of acroasphyxia in a 14-year-old girl". Doctor. Newspaper, No. 9, 1908
Abstract
A case of "acroasphyxiae hypaesthelicae", with lesions of the upper limbs, is described. The hands were bluish-colored and swollen, the fingers were spindle-shaped. Bromides, glycerophosphate, warm baths and faradization of the hands were prescribed. Significant improvement could be stated. When analyzing the case, the literature on the issue is given in detail .



Prof. Eulenburg. Basedow'a disease from a modern theoretical and practical point of view. Modern Clinic and Therapy. No. I. 1908
Abstract
On the theoretical side, the author gives a detailed critical review of the views that interpret the essence of Graves' disease. So, he considers and consistently rejects, in view of significant shortcomings, theories; hematogenous, assuming the essence of suffering in "abnormal mixing of blood by analogy with chloranemic mixing" - neurogenic, sympathetic and bulbar, as leading to obvious contradictions or not giving undoubted results - and the theory of neuroses, as "not containing the whole truth" and leaving unknown pathogenic agent that acted on the nervous system in this direction.



N. E. Osokina. Kozhevnikov epilepsy. (Medical Review No. 1, 1908)
Abstract
The author describes two cases of Kozhevnikov's epilepsy, used in the clinic of prof. Darkshevich.
In one of them, along with epileptic seizures of the nature of Jacksonian epilepsy, there were constant clonic convulsions in the upper and lower extremities of the right side. As complications, there were right-sided hemiparesis and complete hemianesthesia on the face (at the beginning of the disease, also motor aphasia).



Eiselsberg and Frankl-Hochwart. Uber operative Behandlung der Tumoren der Hypophysisgegend. Neurologisches Centralblatt. 1907. No. 21
Abstract
The patient's medical history. On June 10, 1907, the patient was admitted to the surgical clinic. Roentgen's examination revealed destructive changes in the back of the Turkish saddle. Surgery was applied. The operation was performed through the nasal passages. A carcinoma of the hypophysis was found. After the operation, the general condition of the patient began to noticeably change.



Prof. N. Oppenheim. To the doctrine of the periodicity of certain symptoms in nervous diseases. Neurologisches Centralblatt No. I—1908)
Abstract
The author draws attention to the well-known fact that nervous diseases of various types tend periodically and sometimes with remarkable regularity, at certain more or less intervals of time, to appear with particular intensity. This fact has been of interest to the author for several years, and he is trying to put it forward, to put it in line for development and discussion, without trying, on his part, to offer any theory or hypothesis for explanation.



Dr. Franz F. Krusius. About the binocular pupillometer. (From the University Eye Clinic in Marburg)
Abstract
The author proposes a special device invented by him, adapted for experimental-scientific and clinical studies of the pupillary reaction and the state of the pupils, which makes it possible to assess changes in the pupil with greater objectivity and accuracy and even express them by a number, a measure.



Meeus. Claudication intermittente D'origine cerebrale. Revue Neurologique. 1907. No. 18
Abstract
Dejerine in 1894 and 1906 described several cases of claudication intermittente of spinal origin. The essence of this disease is reduced in general terms to the following. While walking in one leg, paresthesias appear, sensations of heaviness and at the same time weakness. After a while, the patient can go on completely unhindered; after a short time, the same phenomena occur again.



Lejonne et Oppert. Paralysie unilaterale de nerfs craniens multiples. Revue Neurologique. 1907. No. 13
Abstract
Unilateral multiple cranial nerve palsies are not common. And especially rare are those cases where, along with multiple lesions of the cranial nerves, the oculomotor nerves remain spared. A similar case was observed by the authors. It is a case of a 27-year-old woman who, during enteritis, suffered paralysis of all branches of the left facial nerve, masticatory branch of n. trigemini, hypoglossi, olfactorii, 1st branch of n. trigemini and glossopharyngei.



Rosenfeld. On mental disorders in aphasia. Centralblatt fur Nervenheilkunde. 1906. 15 luni
Abstract
If one looks through the case histories of aphasics, especially in the older literature, then in the vast majority of cases one can find only very meager indications of the state of the general mental activity, of the state of the patient's intellect. The reason for this lies mainly in the fact that the study of the intelligence of such patients is associated with great difficulties, especially where dealing with sensory aphasia or paraphasia.



L. Marchand et Nonet. Epilepsy et Paralysie generale. (Annales Med. Psych. Janv.-Fevr. 1908)
Abstract
In a report given on October 28, 1907 in the Medical Psychological Society, the authors point to the reports of Toulouse and Pelz, contradicting the classical position about the incompatibility of progressive paralysis with neuroses and describing the development of this form in epileptics, from which the authors conclude that meningo-encephalitis , developing extremely slowly, can first turn into epilepsy, and then into a paralytic symptom complex.



Doctor Sukhanov "On Constitutional Psychopathies and Psychoses". Modern Psychiatry", January, 1908
Abstract
Dr. Sukhanov in his article "On Constitutional Psychopathies and Psychoses" gives a division of the types of innate neuropsychic organization, distinguishing between psychoasthenic, hysterical, epileptic and pathological-resonant constitutions. Psychoasthenia is characterized by an anxious and suspicious character, on the basis of which certain obsessive mental states are found.






Sicard et Descomps. Failure of surgical treatment of Torticollis Mentale de Brissaud. (Nouvelle Iconographie de la Salpetriere. No. 6-1907)
Abstract
Strong man 44 y.o. after depressing family troubles, he received torticollis, which he could correct by pressing his left hand on the occipital region. According to prof. Brissaud "is an act of saving faith, because the will could never be sufficiently restrained to leave freedom for the muscles of the antagonists to be mutually conquered."






Report on the defense of the dissertation by doctor I.P. Alferyev, January 21, 1908
Abstract
The debate opened, as usual, with a speech by the candidate himself. N. P. Alferyev indicated the reasons that prompted him to take up this work. He was driven by a desire to bring more light to the vague and confusing classification of bodily injuries and the need to point out to society the plight of the forensic doctor, which limits the productivity of his work.

Abstract
On February 3, the grand opening of the new scientific and higher educational institution of the Psycho-Neurological Institute took place. Opening the meeting, the president of the institute, prof. V. M. Bekhterev handed over the chairmanship to M. M. Kovalevsky and delivered a speech about the tasks of the institute. The initial assumptions about the establishment of the institute arose in 1893; after that, a large donation from the Alafuzov family was received, which made it possible to move on to the practical implementation of these assumptions.

Obituary
In memory of Academician I. P. Merzheevsky
Abstract
Today's meeting of the Psychiatric Society, in accordance with the decision of its Council, we dedicated to the memory of Academician IP Merzheevsky, who died on March 5 in Paris from a cerebral hemorrhage. Under the fresh impression of such a sad event, it is difficult to appreciate the full significance of the heavy loss that we experience along with the death of I.P. But it can be said with certainty that Russian psychiatry, in the person of I.P. The vast majority of Petersburg psychiatrists and psychiatrists in other cities, the society of psychiatrists in St. Petersburg lost in the person of I.P. lost in the face of I.P. the most handsome psychiatrist, who enjoyed great fame and the general love of his patients.
